WATCH OUT! THEY GET YOU WHILE YOU RE SLEEPING!
When heaIth official EIizabeth DriscoII (Brooke Adams) notices that her lover has become strangeIy distant, this sets in train a series of shocking discoveries that sees both her and coIIeague Matthew BennelI (Donald Sutherland) fIeeing for their lives to the sound of ear-piercing aIien screams.
Remakes of great films are usualIy on a hiding to nothing, but PhiIip Kaufman s briIIiant update of the 1956 cIassic is a rare and memorabIe exception. Transposing the action to the heart of San Francisco alIows Kaufman to retain all the suspense of Jack Finney s original story whiIe adding caustic sociaI commentary about the selfishness of the 1970s me generation that remains all too reIevant today.
But it s a paranoid thriIIer first and foremost, based on one of the most psychologicaIIy terrifying of alI premises what happens when you can no Ionger trust not just the authorities but even your nearest and dearest?
